This is a simple yet luscious pasta dish that you will make over and over because it’s that easy! The shrimp and Spring vegetables keep it light and add a great bite. So perfect when you’re craving those carbs.

Want to know how to make the easiest fig flatbread ever? Start by getting high quality ingredients—Gilbert’s Craft Sausages just released their Fig and Feta Chicken Sausage, and it’s amazing, then add fresh ingredients like arugula, pears, caramelized onion, and fig preserves. Trust me when I tell you that you will end up with a delicious and stunning flatbread that will be a regular in your dinner rotation!

You all know I live in Chicago, and in Chicago there is an obsession with Portillo’s chocolate cake. They even put this cake in a shake! So I took the idea of a chocolate cake shake, and went nuts with it!

About a year ago I made these Curried BBQ Turkey Burgers and I’ve been thinking about rephotographing those burgers because they were so delicious! Every time I brought home ground turkey I’d end up doing something else with it depending on what we were in the mood for or how much time I had to prep dinner. Then one day I made some classic chicken quesadillas and thought the flavors from this burger would taste amazing in a quesadilla. So, I gave it a whirl and we liked these more than the burgers! Shay said it was yummy too (hooray!!!).

I love a pan to table dinner. It’s what most of us are looking for on a weeknight, or any day really. It’s so great to toss everything into a pan and then just kind of…hope for the best. LOL. Pan to table meals are amazing, but they do take a little babysitting if you don’t want a pile o f mush, and want everything to taste good. Believe me when I say I’ve botched plenty of meals because I wasn’t as thoughtful as I should have been when tossing a bunch of ingredients in a screaming hot pan. With this meal I took one of our favorite sauces, honey mustard, and put my own twist on it by adding orange juice and rosemary. It’s like an adult version of a McDonald’s happy meal

How many of you actually make crab cakes at home? It’s probably super easy, but I wouldn’t know. I just associate crab cakes on my plate when I’m dining out at a nice restaurant. BUT, I make salmon at home all the time! I even fed it to Shay Shay when he started eating solids…you know before he realized that what I was feeding him was insanely healthy and from the sea. He doesn’t eat salmon willingly anymore, but the hubby and I love it. To keep it interesting we stray away from just popping it into the oven and make salmon cakes

Boy, oh, boy do I love cheesecake. Actually not even just me…Sushil, Shay, the rest of the family, coworkers, friends. It’s so freakin’ good! Now, I know you can make cheesecake in the Instant Pot and I love that dang thing, but I have attempted any Instant Pot desserts. In life, I just don’t really bake. It’s a goal of mine to bake more often since I love baked goods so much, but here I wanted to use some of my favorite flavors to make an easy no bake cheesecake and I think we have a winner!
